Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and consider applying a dry lubricant if necessary.
Water repellent finish is wearing off
Use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray wash or treatment to restore the water-resistant properties.
Faux fur looks flat
Gently shake the hood or use a clean, wide-toothed comb to lift the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Good For Nothing jacket, always check the internal care label before washing. The garment is machine washable, though it is recommended to turn the jacket inside out to protect the outer finish and the rubber badge. Avoid using harsh bleaches or high-heat drying, which may damage the water-resistant coating. If the faux fur trim becomes matted, gently brush it to restore its texture. The XL size offers a generous fit, making it compatible for layering over heavier winter clothing items.
